Book Description
Excerpt from The Museum of Natural History, With Introductory Essay on the Natural History of the Primeval World Before we enter upon an exposition of the fascinating science which teaches us the habits and structure of the various forms of animal life, arranges them in their several tribes and genera and species, points out their resemblances and differences, and determines their part in the grand economy of the universe; before, in a word, we proceed to a survey of the Animal Kingdom as it is now presented to our gaze, it is well we should inquire into its earlier history, and ascertain what facts we can respecting the past condition of its individual members. The researches of modern geologists have revealed to us the fact that Earth was not always tenanted by the same forms of animal life, but that each age and period has possessed its own separate creation; each creation being, as it were, an advance upon its prede cessor, and a further, and in some respects a grander, development of the Creative Power.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Museum of Natural History, With Introductory Essay on the Natural History of the Primeval World Several features distinguish this Work from others in which kindred topics are dealt with. The place in Biblical Literature which it seeks to occupy, is at present vacant. There is no single work existing which is devoted exclusively to the same subjects. British and foreign books of Eastern travel may be numbered by hundreds. Scattered throughout these, which are for the most part expensive, very many facts are to be met with which shed much light on those aspects of the sacred text now chiefly in view. Efforts have been made to render this information most truly useful, by embodying it in one work. Thus far the Author's task has been one of compilation. But this forms only a very subordinate characteristic of the Work. Great attention continues to be given, both in this country and America, to the relations between the Bible and Science. These are still discussed in highly influential quarters. The sounds of the warfare reach the intelligent classes in the community. They have not, however, any one work easily within reach, treating both of the causes and the bearings of those great controversies which will not fail to be waged with growing keenness as science advances. Though it would be unprofitable to dwell, in a controversial spirit, on the various theories of creation and of the natural history of man. which, during the last twenty years, have had great prominence given to them, yet an acquaintance with these must be valued by every lover of truth, and especially by all who receive the Bible as the fully-inspired word of God. The chief difficulties in the relations between the Bible and Science, are associated with the opening pages of scripture. A full exposition will be given of the first eight chapters of Genesis. And, in connection with the exposition, recent "Geological Theories of creation," "The Theory of Development by Natural Law," and that proposed by Mr. Darwin on "The Origin of Species," will be carefully reviewed, and set in popular aspects. Questions touching the "Presence of Death in the world before the Fall of Man," the hypothesis of a "Race of Preadamite Men," "The Unity of the Human Race," and the "Extent of the Deluge," will all be considered in the introductory pages of this Work. Again; those only who have studied the scriptures from the points of view of advanced science, can be fully aware of the great light which may be shed on their meaning by Geology, Botany, Zoology, and Physical Geography. Nor is this to be reckoned of little moment. Every illustration drawn from tho works of God, and every figure used by men who spake as the Holy Ghost gave them utterance, must be interesting. Intelligent men have thankfully received the contributions which, in recent years, have been made to the elucidation of scripture, by those who, sound in the faith, have either devoted themselves to the study of the original languages of the Bible, or have brought a trustworthy historical criticism to bear on the discoveries of Champollion, Lepsius, Layard, Rawlinson, Wilkinson, and others. It is fitting, then, that the students of Natural Science should bring their gifts and lay them upon the same altar. The title given above, indicates the special design of this Work. But it will often be necessary to give matter which could not well be specified on the title-page. Information will be drawn from Metallurgy, Meteorology, Astronomy, and, occasionally, from Archælogy. When needful, a sketch of the civil history of particular countries and places will be introduced. It is hoped that the Work will thus be found both popularly useful, and, also, interesting to theological students and ministers of Christ. "Biblical Natural Science" is written from the point of view of Christianity rather than of Theism, ft is kept in mind throughout that the Saviour of s...
